First Take

By Leonard Goh

Currently, the printer market is saturated with All-In-One (AIO) machines and it can be difficult for manufacturers to make their products stand out among the competition. HP's latest range of Photosmart inkboxes can be hard to differentiate from its rivals, but they come with attractive price tags, such as the Photosmart C5380. If you print a lot of photos at home, you will find the color LCD and five-ink system useful. However, it doesn't come with fax and network capability, so it's a consideration if you're looking for a multifunctional printer for your home office. ...

5 INK only



Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Feature Packed
Cons: 2 blacks and 3 colour tones won't produce enoough hues for most photos.
Opinion:
I've tried various printers during the recent IT show. To make the test meaningful, I've used third party high quality photo paper (Ilford). The printers I've tried are C5380, TX700W and MX850. Hp printers are always over-rated in Singapore because of its strong branding in the IT industry. In actually fact Canon and Epson have always been the Champions in terms of Inkjet Photo Printers. The colors from C5380 are over-saturated and banding are evident. While Canon's prints are nice but bias towards yellowish, especially when you photos with people. Epson's prints are the most natural and the user interface are much better of that compared to HP's. Even HP's sales assistant that was attending to me couldn't find certain settings. Having said that, I own a HP laser printer and its great. Companies always has their strength and weaknesses. I wouldn't recommend HP when its comes to Inkjets and for shutterbugs, Epson should be the right choice.

Opinion:
Simply the best!
HP Printers are the worlds best for me.
As a consultant HP are always the best! and I always reccomend to my clients.
The only problem is there are too many to choose from and they change models so fast,maybe because they are always up to date with the latest Technology.
